kolt666 did not really feel up to maintaining this mod anymore, so i took over.
What
Ruins is a mod that spawns Structures in your Minecraft worlds upon generation, similar to Villages or Strongholds. Every Structure is defines by a template and configured to spawn under specific conditions, and all of that can be changed by you!
There is a lot of Structures already included, and there's bound to be more added.
You can export great structures you made using the new ingame template parser. See this instruction video here:
More media:
You can find screenshots of included structures under the images link.
What..?
Ruins spawns cool stuff like Buildings, Towers, Statues.

Anyone around here?..., this mod is still alive, someday it will reach 1.16.3??... tok tok anyone?, OK no
Is a 1.16.3 version in the crystal ball?
Hi! I'm using Ruins 17.2 in Minecraft 1.12.2. In ruins.txt, the presence of whitelisted dimensions implies that there's no way to enable ruins in every dimension by default. Is this the case? I'd like to be able to have them spawn in Mystcraft Ages without having to add each Age's dimension ID to the whitelist.
Is there a discord for atomicstryker where we could discuss some of these questions in more detail?
In reply to tyon2006:
So, some more detail about my problem is below. Can anyone lend a hand? I'm in 1.12.2, trying to whitelist a tile entity block for copying NBT data. These chests need to maintain their NBT to work. I tried the 2 lines below (not at the same time) and it never seems to copy the data when i parse. I hit an example with a stick and the exact text it states is: "[01:19:43] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] BlockName [tile.treasure2:gold_strongbox], blockID [gold_strongbox], metadata [5]". What's the exact full line of text I should be entering to get that to work?
#hasn't worked:
teblocks=[tile.treasure2:gold_strongbox]
#teblocks=treasure2:gold_strongbox_tile_entity #didnt work
In reply to tyon2006:
update, this also did NOT work:
# tileentity blocks, those (nonvanilla)blocks which cannot function without storing their nbt data, full name as stick dictates, seperated by commata
teblocks=tile.treasure2:gold_strongbox,[tile.treasure2:gold_strongbox],treasure2:gold_strongbox_tile_entity,[treasure2:gold_strongbox_tile_entity]
How to implement chance to spawn "adjoining_template"? I want to have about 50/50 chance that this structure will spawn.
Maybe there is another way to spawn structures next to other structures? I know about "CommandBlock:RUINSTRIGGER", but this is too crude of the way, maybe something more elegant?
Had a question but figured it out.
Thank you for porting to 1.15 :) finally took the time to learn how to add my own structures and its pretty fun :)
Omg I'm having a hard time. I have structures that are a compilation of structures that spawn together. Is there a way to link what you find in-game to the structure file in the configs?
I have no idea what structure-spawn I'm finding, so I cant find it's file and edit it.
Is there anyway to make a TNT trap with ruins using an observer block/make the observer block generate last or something so it doesn't blow up straight away?
(Situation: I'm using littletiles mod to make custom randomised loot chests but the mod doesn't have a trapped - redstone signal - storage block that I'm finding. I'm hoping an observer block will be able to see that loot has been taken [there's no lid to open on these particular storage blocks]. If they can do this - I've yet been able to get that far - I should be able to blow the thing up when the loots been taken! The problem is when I put the observer block under the storage block - in my testing, only a standard chest - the whole thing blows up on generation... Edit: theoretically this works, just the observer block seems to be detecting the structure finishing it's generation... Edit 2: im on 1.12.2)
Anyone else getting these errors in 1.15.2?

Good afternoon, I'm having personal troubles with mod, more specifically it causing cascading worldgen lag. I went through all the comments to make sure I wasn't being entirely retarded on what's going on with this lag. I however am having an issue with it, and if anyone could give just suggestions that would be great, because I did see the comment that said that it couldn't be fixed.
(If needed reference on what I'm talking about):
[WARNING] [FML]: Ruins Mod loaded a new chunk [146, -43] in dimension 0 (overworld) while populating chunk [146, -42], causing cascading worldgen lag.
[WARNING] [FML]: Please report this to the mod's issue tracker. This log can be disabled in the Forge config.
This is just a small example, the console gets flooded in chat with it, I understand that you can disable these messages but it is causing lag for me.
The people on my server want this mod dearly so I want to see if there's a way I can still have it and so it can also not cause lag. The lag is incredible that it will crash the whole server if someone spends an amount of time loading in chunks at a fast rate, and I have quite the amount of players on it. I also noticed you made a comment on how the default templates shouldn't be a problem but they are causing a problem. I'd pretty much just like to know what exactly is going on with this problem in a simple form, I'm not very educated in Java so I can't entirely understand everything that's going on. By assumption though with my knowledge of handling servers, I assume that this is a problem with memory. If I just simply need to upgrade my memory then that's fine.
So I was just wondering in a nutshell of what causes this to happen and any suggestions that could lessen this problem. Thank you to those who respond!
Im having trouble getting ruins trigger to work in 1.15.2 was wondering if you could point out what Im doing wrong. Here are the rules i have for test ruin that I thought would spawn a skeleton but instead spawns nothing.
rule1={Properties:{snowy:"false"},Name:"minecraft:grass_block"}
rule2={CommandBlock:RUINSTRIGGER /summon Skeleton ~1 ~1 ~1}
Any chance to get 1.16.1 version?
Am I the only one whose structures aren't spawning at all? Any fix ideas?
Is it possible to make this work with dimensions like hunting dimension?
Hi! First, thanks you for your mod. It's a good game changer!
Wild question (now that I solved my issue), do the unique template rules works in the 1.7.10?
Now, here is my issue: -solved-
I'm stuck in 1.7.10 because of a mod.
And I have a big template that work well when testing with /testruin.
But it doesn't spawn.I set a high spawn rate to test it, other templates spawn well but not this one.
It's a big sky castle of 100x100 that I want to spawn over water at a relative altitude (I tried many height to test, nothing work)
I don't know if I'm doing something bad or if it's just in the limit of the mod (but as I said, the template work well while testing..)
Here is the template config:
dimensions=93,101,101
weight=2
embed_into_distance=-60
acceptable_target_blocks=water
allowable_overhang=0
max_leveling=2
leveling_buffer=0
preserve_water=0
preserve_lava=0
preserve_plants=0
Edit:
Apparently, it was caused by hte max_leveling because of the template lenght.
AND I reedit it to be spawnable almost anywhere. The allowable_overhang was needed.. I suppose.. It works! maybe I did shits, but it works!
dimensions=93,91,91
weight=1
unique=1
embed_into_distance=-100
unacceptable_target_blocks=flowing_water,flowing_lava,lava
allowable_overhang=9001
max_leveling=30
leveling_buffer=-1
preserve_water=1
preserve_lava=0
preserve_plants=1
In reply to jerikusan:
One minor note: unique and preserve_plants are not recognized template parameters, even in 1.7.10, so you can get rid of those two lines altogether--they're just being silently ignored. My guess is they existed in very early versions of Ruins, since I've seen template authors occasionally include them, but they were already gone by the time atomicstryker took over the mod back in 1.7.2. I do notice mention of them in the early documentation, but they're not implemented in the code.
You can get the once-per-world effect of unique by setting uniqueMinDistance to a ridiculously high number, like 60 million (that one occurrence is likely to be relatively close to worldspawn, however; I suspect the same was true with the old unique parameter). Plants are always preserved--there's no parameter for turning that off--though the definition of "plant" may not be exactly what you think it is, especially if you use other mods with custom plants or plant-like blocks.
In reply to QuarterAnimal:
Thanks you for your answer and the time you took for the explainations!
Is there a way to make a structure (like in creative on a flat world) and save it to naturally generate in new worlds?
